yeah my ipod headphones starting making fuzzy noise after only 6 months, I took care of them. Just get new headphones. FYE has some nice ones for under $20.

What is the best way to burn in headphones?

I just bought a pair of ath m-50s and they sound great but I was told that they sound even better after a good long burn in session, does this mean playing specific sounds at certain volumes? Should I put them on higher volumes just for burn in?


Answer
Nice answer, kiddo.

You have a display picture of those ugly, poor performance beats headphones. You simply can't provide the correct answer to this question because you LACK KNOWLEDGE.

M-50's are MID-FI cans.

Yes, almost all headphones "burn in", not break in. The moving coil fully adjusts to the diaphragm. This will give you slightly better audio quality. Electrostatics and Planar Magnetics also burn in. In fact, almost every machine has a burn in time. Break in sounds like something else. Don't get me started. Stupid headfiers. They are all on Sansa clips and such as well as over-hyped amplifiers and CD players. Not REAL Hi-Fidelity rigs like mine.


BURN THEM IN: Play pink noise for 24 hours with 15 percent more volume. It doesn't have to be exact, but 15 percent is sufficient because you don't want to max out the power handling of the M50's and bust the driver.

There will be a nice difference. They will likely improve further, as your listening sessions become longer and time passes on. You will notice differences. Eventually, they will reach their peak and stay there.

About 45 HRS is needed for full burn in, playing your music works as well. Try bass heavy and treble heavy songs for a slightly faster full burn in.

The bass clarity and tightness will improve, the treble will be less hot, and the highs and mids will be a slight bit nicer.

Don't listen to non-audiophiles and silly head-fiers. Maintain my first statement.
